Welcome to Locust Grove!
We’re glad to have you join us for our time of worship together. If you haven’t already attended, we would
love to have you also join us for Sunday school next Sunday. Sunday school is an important step in making
further connections with a smaller group of people. Ask for help if you have any questions or
need more information about our church.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Food donations
during January will go to the Salvation Army.
The carpets in the fellowship hall and basement will be
cleaned on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
The Youth are hosting a Chili Cookoff Fundraiser today,
January 28 at 5:30 PM at the church. You
are all invited! Funds received will go
toward the upcoming winter retreat registration and our summer service
trip. We’re asking for volunteers to
bring a pot of chili. Contact Liz Yoder
if you are interested at 260-415-1458.
Thank you to Mike Monson and Monson Tax Service for
preparing our annual withholding tax forms for us.
Kid’s Club will be
starting up again on Wednesday, February 7 from 6-7:30 PM. This will run through March 20.
All ladies are invited to a 40-day small group study
that centers on the beauty of the gospel and how Christ’s grace and forgiveness
encourage us to die to ourselves and live for Jesus. This small group will meet Monday nights at
the church from February 12 – April 1.
More information and a sign-up sheet can be found at the Welcome Center.
We will be having a congregational meeting on
